THERE is no worse mistake made on
the average farm of to-day than the
premature breeding of cattle, hogs and
sheep. A rule which would do much
toward solving the many questions of
how to keep our animals in perfectly
healthy condition, and how to ward off
diseases which, when they have taken
hold, are almost impossible to treat
successfully-a rule which would solve
these and many more, would be never
to allow an animal to breed until 1t has
attained its full development. Like
surely begets like; and il an immature
sire is employed, strong, vigorous off,
spring cannot reasonably be expected.
The sire may be of the finest breeding,
but it cannot implant qualities which
1t does not possess; and no animal, how
ever fine, al possess the requisite quail
tiles of a breeder until the yigor which
only full development a give is &C
CURED.

Surprises in Surgery. - Numerous
Instances have been recorded of late In
the medical journals of th4 complete
reunion of portions of hnee.s which
hal been cut off from the hand, in some
cases by the knife and in others by the
ak. In one case, a man in cutting
bindings for the morning tire, acct
dentally cut off the end OF his thumb.
He had gone from the place some twenty
feet, when he returned, picked up the
end, wiped it and replaced 1t, binding
it in its original place as nearly as pos
sible. The wound united, and the I'm
ger is now as good as ever, save that its
s~ensibility is somewhat diminished. In
another case a boy chopped off the ends
OF three fingers. He was seen by q
physician three or four hours after the
accident. The ends of the fingers had
been found in the snow and were
brought to him. He attached them,
and two Of the three united.

A CORRESPONDENT says that a sure
method of protecting young fruit trees
from the ravages Of rabbits Is to place
four or five pieces of cornstocks, thirty
to thirty-six inches in length, about
each tree, and tie them neal the top and
bottom with carpet Irvine. The stocks
can remain on the trees until after the
spring planting. The carpet yarn is
better than stronger tarred twipe. as
the former will be sure to rot before the
young tree begins to increase in dam

upon poor pastures to eat weeds, brittle

that respect, although it may not be

FARM NOTES.

a NEW TUBER.-A new esculent
! having a close relationship TO the pota-
to, was discovered several years ago by
s. Ohroudi, on a little island Known as
Goritti, at the mouth Of the River La
Plata, the fora OF which is limited, and
the soil sandy. The plant Is named the
solunum, after the discoverer, n the
specimen found was taken to brest,
France, where it was placed IN the care
of Mr.. Blanchard, gardener OF the sea-
mems Hospital. Mr.. Blanchard gave
it place in the garden, which 1t has
held ever since, it being impossible to
destroy it. The produce has been taken
up every year at the end Of June or the
beginning Of July, but Notwithstanding
all the pains taken in lifting, there re-
mains enough in the ground to insure a
crop the ensuing year. The solanum
has three sets of creeping stems, n of
which runs near the surface and throws
up at intervals young growth which
flower almost as o 10 as they appear.
Another strikes deeply into the soil n
produces tubers, while others take a
path winding between the two, produe.
ing an enormous quantity OF almost
mlcroscopical bullets, which when de-
tached; effectually guarantee the plant
against determination. Cultivation
has improved the size Of the tubers,
which now grow about as large as a
hens egg. They have a chestnutty
taste, accompanied by a slight amount
Of bitterness, and are best baked. In
the climate where Mr.. Blanchard ex-
periments have been conducted, the
tubers prove perfectly hardy, but The
Garden doubts whether they would be
hardy in England. Whether 1t will
prove a valuable acquisition remains to
be seen. 1t might be very useful for
table use, and its large productiveness
would give it value. The crossing of
1t with the ordinary potato might pro-
duce a harder and more enduring race
than we now have.

Too AwruIto Think or

Mixed up with the furniture carried
out during the recent fire at Chautauqua
was faro layout, seven packs OF cards
and three boxes. These iniquitous aux
illiaries of worldly life found their way
within the sacred precincts of Chautau.
qua In the trunks Of two very interesting
women who arrived last season with a
party of Ohio school ma ans who were
attending the teachers retreat. They
engaged the second floor OF modest
cottage on Simpson avenue, attended the
teachers meetings, slipped waters from
the sacred springs. chewed gum along
the sandy shores of Galilee, and came TO
be looked upon as bright lights in the
Chautauqua idea. The teachers depart
ed, but the Simpson avenue cottage held
its tenants. Soon 1t became noticed that
this was favorite resort for gentlemen,
but rs the girls continued TO sing the
hymns at morning services, and clawed
around among the mummies and antique
vases of the museum for poetic inspira-
tion, and as the young men who visited
there had the regulation degree of solem-
nifty and white neckties, the matter was
allowed to pass.
Time passed, and George White came
to Chautauqua. He registered from Gin
cinnati. George was handsome, had
money and fondness for girls. He met
the fair school ma ans, and was enter
tanned by them at their rooms. Soon
afterward the superintendent of the
grounds learned from George that he was
$500 short on n quiet little game Of draw,
and that evening as the last boat drew up
at the wharf you might have seen two
frisky school ma ANS hustled on board
by the superintendent followed moment
later by two large trunks, and that was
the last heard of them until the fire de-
veloped the goods and the story leaked
out.
